Re: brief comment on andys government at work
'iraqi generals' and 'bars of gold'
im being serious. thats what i heard on msnbc like 3 or 4 weeks ago.
of course i read on internet from the usual reliable sources (bbc, etc.) months before that.
but there it was on msnbc like at 7pm or whatever they actually said that the administration? pentagon? whatever had contacted high level iraqis , iraqi generals, (via cellphones at times i think they added) and arranged for them not to fight in exchange for 'gold bars' or something.
also saddam was offered exile if you remember but there was some jockeying on that (bush offered it then withdrew it, whatever)
p.s. look up where tarak aziz (sp) is spending his time now (ie, its not in a torture camp)
